A FRENCH HEIKESS DECEIVED.

A man who gave his name as Men
tee, and who said that he lived in
Urbana, Ohio, was arrested in Og-
den, Utah, few days ago. lie was
convicted of robbing a passenger
coach and was sent to the penlten-
tiary for eight years. A young and
handsome woman, who called herself
Minta, was Mentee's constant com
panion, and was inconsolable when
he was put behind the bars.
To-day George Pepper, one of the
most noted criminals of this place,
told the following story about Men
tee: THAT man Mentee," he said,
sis none other than Charlie Spence,
of Urbana, who, along back in '67,
was an acrobat with me in Howe's
circus. He was smart as whip,
and before he had been with us q
month was the most accomplished
malbuzzer (female pickpocket) in the
gang. Well, in '68, Howe's circus
with us went to Europe and Spence
and | struck it rich. You see we
were acrobats only as a blind. I
acted as Spence's servant when out,
and we worked it so that the best
circles thought he was second Mon
tie Cristo.
"We left the circus and went into
the business heavy, lifting thousands
OF dollars at every swell party We
attended. One night we met swell
Englishman named Ellington, who
was rich and soft as soap. lie was
counting the daughter of a French
millionaire. We were then in Paris,
and he took offense at Charlie be-
cause the girl persisted in paying
him so much attention. lie insulted
Charlie at ball given at the En-
glish ambassadors, and swore to be
revenged. The next day Charlie and
the French girl and $4,000 left sud-
denly for America, and on June l8,
1872, landed in New York.
"The robbery and elopement caus-
ed great sensation at the time. A
month later he and his bride arrived
in Toledo and settled down under the
name OF Charlie and Minta Bronson.
The first thing Charlie did was to
go to Urbana and build his mother q
house, which she lives in to-day. L
was by there the other day. 1t would
be little use to tell you the scone that
ensued when Minta found she was
married, not to millionaire, as she
supposed, but to professional pick
pocket. But after the first storm
she got right down to the very bust
ness he was in, and tor fifteen years
has stuck by him. She is to-day one
of the most famous decoys i'll Ameri-
ca.

FOR PARENTS.

The mistakes of many earnest re-
formers has been in attempting to
put the State.in the place of the par
ents--society in the province ofhome.
1t has oeen thought more rational to
limit liquor selling than to so train
boys that they would not want liquor
"a better philosophy to curb the
supply than to kill the demand.
For example, farm life has been in
general left so rude and barren that
the young have sought their vacation
elsewhere, in the midst of tempta-
tons. Home life in towns has been
too often conducted without refer
ence to the innate and innocen de-
sire of young folks for recreation and
the boys have drifted out upon the
streets and into taverns and bad com
panionship, when they might and
should have been finding employment
at home. Too busy fathers and too
weary mothers, and two careless sis
terS are the ruin Of many Il promis-
ing lad. You must not !" from the
father, and "You ought not = from
the mother, have been relied on to
keep him from evil ways, while he
was left to himself for entertainment.
And 50, instead Of playing with his
sister or with his father at home, the
boy has played over mug of beer
with some mates after the shop was
shut up.
Most lads would prefer a cosy sit
ting room at home, where they were
at liberty to bring their companions
for innocent games or cheerful music,
to rendezvous in a tavern. But
with home that is all command and
no concessions, all preaching and no
pleasure, all duty and no fun-a dull
troad-mill, old-folks sort Of place-it
is matter for deep regret, but not of
wonderment, that the boys drift away
from it. Keep hold of your children
if you would save them, parents.
And remember that the real forces
are those of love, expressed not in
care merely, but in sympathy, CO.
operation, participation and real
companionship. Life.

ARE WE BETTER OR WORSE

The world never stands still, eth
err physically in its orbit or morally
in its development. But it is not
always certain whether its track is
going ahead or coming back. With
in the memory Of the present gener-
alton the professional pursuit of
crime was always under cover The
thief was a sneak, the highwayman a
night-bird, the political corruption
lists burrowed under their party
muck, and official abuse had to be
hunted out of the rags and scraps of
an abandoned office. But change
has come; whether for the better or
worse is not clear. Thieves snatch
ladies' satchels and pocket books in
broad day on frequented streets and
find safer cover in the moving crowd
than in the back alleys and weedy
fence corners. And they tear la
dy's ear rings from her ears in the
middle Of the day and in the midst Of
the throng Of passengers on Broad
way, New York and escape, for the
time; another jerks mans watch
from his pocket in crowd and gazes
at show window on Washington
street, indianapolis and lodges the
thicket Of legs and idle heads around
the corner. Bolder still, IA sleigh
load Of robbers drive up to a Jewell
ler's window in Minneapolis, in the
midst of score of observers about il
and thousand within sight, and
smash the plate glass with club,
rake up the tray of watches, rings
and other costly trihes, and with
threatening revolvers mount then
vehicle and drive of.
And as robbery grows more open
and daring, corruption grows more
impudent and trusts more freely tC
the blindness, or the weakness )f the
law That is, it has been growing in
this direction, but within a year il
has found its sap leaking out in the
jury room and some of its big limb:
seasoning for better service in the
penitentiary. - indianapolis News.

Athens Banner-Watchman: w

Athens Banner atchman: We
learn that Thursday Rev. Henry
Newton, a popular and well-known
Presbyterian minister OF Union Point,
went to button his pants, when, to
his surprise and CONSERVATION, his
left arm broke in two just above the
elbow. An examination was made
by physician, when it was discoy-
cred that Mr. Newton had for some
time been suffering from a cancer of
the bone, but the pain had been so
slight that he thought it an attack of
rheumatism. The limb was amputa-
ted, and he is doing as we'll as could
be expected

HOT WIRE SURGERY.

Newark physicians are watching
with great interest the recovery Of
Alfred j. Shipley of 81 James street
He submitted 10 the application Of
galvanc cautery late in November,
tor the removal of cancer which in
volved nearly half of the right
side OF his tongue, and is now con-
valescent, and is prevented from ex-
ercislng his vocal powers to their full
extent only by restrictions put upon
him by his medical advisers. He can
artculate plainly, but he is warned
not to speak except when speech is
positively necessary. On July LIST,
Mr.. Shipley first noticed a pain on
the left side of the root of his tongue
but he did not worry about it until
the pain became excruciating and he
encountered difficulty in swallowing.
Then he called in his family physi-
clan, DR.. Milton Baldwin, who, re-
marked, 81 guess you are a Grant
man, and told him that the trouble
was caused by a cancer known as
epithelema. DIR. Baldwin took the
patient to the German Hospital,
where consultation was held, and
cutting out the cancer was pronounc
ed dangerous operation. Mr.. Ship
ley was sent home.
DR.. Baldwin then laid the case be-
fore Newark Medical Association,
and it was suggested that the cancer
might be removed successfully by
galvano oautery. 1t was resolved to
try this plan, and on Nov. %, Mr..
Shipley was placed under the inhu-
ence OF chloroform at his house, and
in the presence of nine physicians
the operation was performed. 4
needle threaded with silk was passed
through the tongue and that member
was drawn 0ut of the mouth as far
as possible Then the base of the
cancer was encircled with a loop of
fine platinum wire, which was held
in place by pins thrust through the
cancerous growth. When everything
was ready current from a powerful
battery was sent through the plati-
mum wire, heating it to incandes-
cence. For an instant the interior
of the patients mouth glowed with
white light. Then the loop was
drawn forward and the glowing wire
cut rapidly through the base of the
capcerous growth, leaving blood
less wound in its track. The cancer
when removed was as thick and as
long as mans thumb. Two days
afterward MIR. Shipley was able to sit
in chair and take liquid food with
comfort.

A powder that is composed chiefly
of phosphorus, and designed to sup
plant ordinary gunpowder for stage
purposes, has been devised by New
York inventor, who, as test of its
qualities, placed himself in the midst
OF a dozen or more "supers' at a
theatre day or two ago and permit
ted them to blaze away at him with
their muskets only few inches from
his head. 1t is put up in cartridges
so thin that when discharged the
whole charge completely disappears.
No trace of it can be found. The re-
port is described as being as loud,
the flame as vivid and the smoke ap.
parently as dense as that of ordinary
gunpowder, but it has the advantage
! Of giviag forth no odor.

Athens Banner Waterman: There
was belief among the people OF We
olden time that if you built a new
house and finished it, the owner
would not live long; but if you left
any part thereof uncompleted you
would live until it was done. Gov
ernor Wilson Lumpkin is said to
have had this superstition, and when
he constructed the rock house on
the hill overlooking the cemetery he
left one window unfinished, and it
so remains until to-day We learn
that this is not the only old house in

When rich man dies, his wealth
is soon disposed of, and, if he has
left nothing else, his name is soon
forgotten. But, if he has used his
wealth in the service of Justice and
mercy, righteousness and truth, if he
has aided the weak, lifted the fallen,
encouraged struggling merit, and has
thus been a blessing to humanity,
then his deeds live after him, and his
children cherish them as "a legacy
better than gold or lands.
